What Guests Are Saying
Whitefish Horse Camp offers great trails, a beautiful lake, and clean, comfortable campsites. The well-constructed stalls for horses and the campground's overall quality were praised, along with the wonderful host. However, only one trail was cleared, limiting riding options and leading to disappointment regarding trail accessibility.

This camp had potable water, bathrooms (with toilet paper!), horse corrals, picnic tables, fire pits, easy access to multiple trails and Crescent Lake, and even provided manure wheelbarrows and a collection pile for equine visitors. The sites are large enough to easily park a truck and horse trailer in. The camp hosts - Jim and Gerry and their little dog Charlie - were also AMAZING!

Excellent, well maintained horse camp. Very safe pipe corrals with gates, and water located near every site. Easy drive off main highway, and most of the sites can accommodate large trailers, though some are longer than others. Camp hosts were very friendly. Definitely recommend this location. Trails were well-marked, though ask camp hosts how long they are, and there are several different options if you want to ride a loop or just do a shorter "out and back". Crescent Lake is within walking distance of the camp, and we enjoyed just hanging out at the beach one day. Perfect for swimming, as it has a gradually sloping, sandy lake bottom. Bring kayaks if you have room!

This has become our favorite place to get away to. Both with our kids, and without! Our camp hosts could not be any better! They feel like family now. They keep the camp in such beautiful conditions and ensure we are happy and comfortable!

Great hosts! Love that the lake is so close and the campground so private. Would have loved to have the trails cleared of large trees, but nicely dispersed. Also, grateful for water nearby for humans and horses. Liked it so much I came back two weeks later for three more days. Thanks Gerri and Jim

The hosts were especially nice and helpful. It is a beautiful camp and the area is stunning. The trails were challenging with some deadfall but mostly passable.

The camp hosts were delightful and the camp was filled with only horse people most of the time. The wilderness permit box was beyond full and had been totally ignored by the forest service but beyond that the trails were nice and the camp was delightful.
